I just wish there was some way to edit my beta profile.

I said that I'd be only able to dedicate 2-4 hours a week testing, but I meant like, actual testing, not just repeatedly playing matches. Is there even a functional difference?

I have an idea.. give keys to active members that have been here since 2011 and filled out the Beta profile..

OR better yet, those that signed up on the forum within the first week of its existence..

OR better than that.. the first 48 hours.. (Oct 31st - Nov 1 2011)

That can't be much more than 1500

Then you can go back to Random selections..

That would be fair.. at least to a lot of us that have been trolling the web since the 3015 trailer, everyday looking for news on the MW Reboot.

PRETTY PLEASE

Even though I think somewhere around 4500 keys have been issued, I would be surprised if at any one given moment there were above 500 users playing at one time. With day/night cycles, work and other things that might keep them away, I'm not sure if we can assume that there'd be a 1:1 ratio of users actively logged in.


Do what I do and just hold out for the Founder's Pack guaranteed Beta.

Of course, the chances of it's duration even being remotely as long as the current closed beta is very very low.... but it's access to beta without the constant disappointment of relying on luck to be on your side.

yfw from those 4500 keys only 2/3 get activated, cause its always that way.

THANKS, I spit coffee all over my monitor! LOL Nice to start the day with a laugh. OH and BTW "sigh" nothing here yet either.

And I have officially given up.

See you all in the open beta.

[chewie]

Still wondering if i can get one.

Is there any non US folks in the beta? guess we'll never know because of the NDA

BUT IF they gave keys to active users of the forum, that are waiting and begging for keys, I bet 100% would be activiated and they could get up to 1000 playing at a given time. EASILY..

Instead they keep with this OBVIOUSLY horrible "Random selection" model..

Pending ...

Btw, that brings us to 4000 people chosen if my math is right. Remaining chances are now X * 1/196000. Sadly this only puts us at ~0.515% chance per 500 chosen.

Never tell me the odds!

Would it help my chances any if I told them I was a computer programmer and bug tested programs for a living?

[Jumpstart]

Im still stuck at work today but maybe... just maybe I will have a key to use when I get home.

Who said it's really random? I think they give out those 1500 keys depending on your beta profile and maybe even being a bit active on the forums. At least it is really easy to make an algorithm that selects 1500 ppl that way.

Damn it!!!

Actually, they don't even issue any key at all, they are still in the "friends and family beta" process, they just say "100 beta-keys" here and "500 beta-keys" there to keep us on the edge...It's all a lie, I tell, don't believe them !!!!

I think you may be on to something... It's all a vast conspiracy to kill anyone interested in Mechwarrior. They are using the forum here to draw us out and identify us. Then as their trained killers kill us off, they issue "Beta" keys, so those of us who are left think the missing guys simply got a Beta invite and that's why they aren't posting anymore...

I think I'll go start making my tin foil hat now...

[Stormeris]

I think they should Hand-pick the beta testers, because there have been a couple of leaks on the forums already (won't say what was leaked cause im an a**hole )

And pick trustworthy people like ME for example

Hitting refresh on the screen
I am waiting patiently
I'll wait for a sign.

As conspiracies unwind
Will you slam shut
Or press F5
Or watch the pending bar.

Why the Mechs didn't filled with us
Will the devs tell us why
Fully loaded Stalker rise
Will conquer nothing but our minds.

And I've waited patiently
And I'll wait for the sign.

Carried through the centuries
Lasers heated up
Rocket pods on my back
Well it weights me down.

Why the Mechs didn't filled with us
It's just the devs in disguise
Fully loaded Stalker rise
Will conquer nothing but our minds.

I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign, yeah
And I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign.


Got a little bored
Hope you like it
